# SPARK **Break the pattern. Find the unexpected solution.** --- ## Usage ``` /spark [problem or question] /spark --wild [topic] - Maximum divergence, no safety nets /spark --count=N [topic] - Generate N distinct approaches (default: 5) ``` --- ## What This Is SPARK generates unconventional, non-obvious approaches to problems. While standard reasoning optimizes for the most likely correct answer, SPARK deliberately explores the long tail — the weird, surprising, and counterintuitive ideas that conventional thinking filters out. This isn't random brainstorming. It's structured divergent thinking using Claude's `tail-sampler` agent, which is specifically designed to break out of predictable solution spaces. --- ## How It Works ### 1. Problem Framing SPARK reframes your problem from multiple unusual angles: - Inversion: What if we did the exact opposite? - Constraint removal: What if [assumed constraint] didn't exist? - Domain transfer: How is this problem solved in [unrelated field]? - Scale shift: What if this was 100x bigger? 100x smaller? - Time shift: How would this be solved in 10 years? 100 years ago? ### 2. Divergent Generation Using Claude's `tail-sampler` agent, SPARK generates ideas that deliberately avoid the top of the probability distribution — the conventional answers. It samples from the tails where surprising connections live. ### 3. Evaluation Each generated idea is evaluated for: - **Novelty** — is this actually different fr
